I have many friends in the Central Coast and Bay area too, so we should make my next visit a pan-Californian bloggers' meet-up.

It's fun for all the bloggers to meet each other, too. For example, JT and I have known each other online for a couple of years, but it might take you coming to town to get us to meet in person!Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595552101752568387.post-28243185980524695462011-01-22T18:36:16.072+01:002011-01-22T18:36:16.072+01:00It was too short a visit, next time I plan to stay...It was too short a visit, next time I plan to stay much longer and connect with my blog friends in California.

The oil wells are a reminder of what is needed to drive our cars. Not exactly a pretty view of that valley, but fascinating. I like the James Dean story. Cozumel is fun. A couple barracuda chased me when I was snorkeling: I was too close to their herd of fish! I'm glad you had fun.
